OUR MISSION
The main objective of UniRef is to provide free access to higher education and professional vocational training to refugees in regions affected by armed conflicts where humanitarian help is essential, being a priority for us their social and professional integration.
All academic programs are completely free of charge for the students. As the burden of tuition fees is removed, the access to the labor market reduces the population’s vulnerability and poverty.
Between 2014 and 2017, UniRef deployed its first mission in Burundi in partnership with the United Nations High Commissionner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Since 2018, UniRef has implemented, in partnership with the Jordan Red Crescent (JRC) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), its current mission in Jordan in favor of Syrian refugees.
